Description

Boron Nitride Nanotube is a next-generation Nano-material which will lead the 4th industrial revolution. Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are another form of boron nitride. Structurally they are nano-cylinders with sub-micrometre diameters and micrometre lengths. They are composed of hexagonal boron nitride, constructed by combining boron and nitrogen.


The key features that represent BNNTs are light weight, mechanical strength, thermal and chemical stability, high electrical resistivity and neutron absorption capacity.

This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
